Long time readers may remember my annual guide to champagne I posted at this time of year! And while my last was 6 years ago, the Quintessential Guide to Champagne is still a great primer for those who want the back story of the how and why of champagne and a few choice picks on the classic drink for New Year’s! I have added a link to it in my profile and be sure to follow the link in that piece to my interview with well respected wine critic for a selection of grower champagnes. I also recently had the Champagne Les Riceys - a delicious blanc de noirs! So cheers - or as F. Scott Fitzgerald said “Too much of anything is bad, but too much champagne is just right.”

Thrilled to introduce Blue Carnation dinnerware to the collection. This elegant design originated with Count Annibale II Ferniani in the late 18th century. He had both a fascination with porcelain from the far east as well as a need to be in the forefront of fashion. It was the Ferniani ceramic manufacturer who came up with the original multicolored Imari-inspired majolica classic known as Garofano (Carnation). Subsequently, It was Gio Ponti, then the art director at Ginori, who suggested making the famous Carnation plate in just three shades of blues and in 2000 Ginori officially made a deal with the manufacturer to make a printed version of the design on porcelain, which became Oriente Italiano. This, however, is the original and still completely hand made and hand painted.
